Seeking good tutorials to learn C#

[heyitsheather]

I'm seeking a good tutorials online for learning the basics of C#. I've been working in VB.net for the past few years and consider myself decent in it and want to build on my skills. I will be taking over a few older applications at work that are built in C#, the original developers have both left the company. Any recomendations? Free, if possible.

If you know VB.Net it should be very straightforward to pick up C#, it's essentially the same thing with a slightly different syntax. One notable difference is that C# projects and developers never use the "My" namespace and instead use the real framework classes directly. In general C# relies less on language-specific functionality and maps more directly to the underlying framework and runtime. Much of .NET is actually implemented in C#.

 

Here are some resources to get you started:

If you aren't already using resharper from jetbrains, have a look at that as well. Handy for letting you know pre-compile what is wrong with your code which will probably happen more often with { }'s.

I generally suggest biginners to start with video tutorials. Simply watch them once, and not take any notes. This gets them somewhat acqainted, then I direct them towards a good book for a fundamental grasp of the art.

Seeing as you're experienced you may skip directly to the ebooks.
